If you’re looking for cookies and candies to give out during the holidays, these chocolate turtles should be on your list! To get the best of both worlds, make the turtle thumbprint cookies with the same flavors as these candies.
Turtle Candies are always a classic chocolate shop treat.

The modern versions of this recipe include additional ingredients, but the heart of the confection is the simplicity of ingredients and powerfully decadent flavor.
They’re surprisingly simple to make at home, requiring only three common ingredients to recreate the popular chocolate treat.
